Concrete sub floor, how to create fall?

[Slippery]

The customer I'm doing an extension for wants a wheelchair access wet room.
It's close to the outside wall and foul drain and there is a doorway there at present that will be bricked up so I have fairly good access to cut the concrete for the waste and drain. The only thing I'm worried about is getting fall on the concrete floor?

I might’ve misunderstood what you are doing.

You’ve a concrete floor- Impey do a kit for concrete floors. Impey Aqua grade or something.

Its not a new concrete floor, it's tiled at present. I'm wodering if I could cut hte existing tiles back to the subfloor and then overtile/self level the whole area to lose the 20mm

Height restraints need to be specified for a definitive answer from the many knowledgeable folks on here.

If no probs with height, then I would chop off tiles and create my own falls in a sand and cement screed like it has been done for centuries.

If there is a problem with height, I would rip up the subfloor 'til I could create a decent fall with sand and cement screed like it has been done for centuries.

Only problems with S&C Tom is the drying times, build my falls out of rapid set..yes it costs more but I don't have to wait going on a month to tile em

Or you could use rapid set cement, you can tile on it the next day.

Are those just timber battens ripped down to a fall?
Do you remove these when dry and infil or just leave them in?

They are, get them done at my local woodyard, just leave them in, they ain't going anywhere, if you really wanted to you could tank over them...

I have worked on a few conversions for local councils and they always specified AKW Medicare formers, they are stronger and are made specifically for wheelchair access situations, might be worth a look at what they offer.

Impey easy fit is always my choice of former in this situation
